gemdoll11 Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Hi Damien - long time follower first time website signer upper! My mission for 2020 it learn and soak in all your fantastic information and courses to help me enjoy taking and editing photos again. I've just uploaded Elements 12 to my laptop (which I kindly inherited from my Nana when she died) its not too old but I'm having a problem downloading Bridge, my OS is too old. Do you know how I could download an older version to use on your first course? Any help is appreciated. Thanks and weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I'm here for the ride! Gemma
Damien Symonds Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 Hi Gemma, for general info, could you do this for me?
gemdoll11 Posted January 15, 2020 Author Posted January 15, 2020 thanks for replying! Here you go: I have a PC laptop running windows and Elements 12. It is over 3 years old, and has 4GB of RAM. Its hard drive has 843GB free out of 907GB. The last time I shut down was earlier today. I have never run a cleanup program.
Damien Symonds Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 You DEFINITELY need to run Glary right away. You didn't actually answer the main question I needed ? Which version of Windows is it?
gemdoll11 Posted January 15, 2020 Author Posted January 15, 2020 okay.. I think I've managed that! Says my computer is only faster than 11% of the computers still alive.
Damien Symonds Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 How much more free hard drive space do you have now?
gemdoll11 Posted January 15, 2020 Author Posted January 15, 2020 842gb free. To be fair, my Uncle deleted everything off it before he gave it to me. So really only has a few photos/videos and newly installed Elements. 1

What's happening, exactly?
Damien Symonds Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 Darn it, you're right. My googling says that (weirdly) Adobe have continued support for Windows 7 64-bit, but stopped supporting Windows 8 a couple of years ago
gemdoll11 Posted January 15, 2020 Author Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) Ahh poo! So what do I need to do to do the course? Ideally was wanting to start with the Bridge one as you have suggested to me previously. p.s. this is the message that came up Unable to Install Bridge Sorry, Bridge won't run on your OS. To continue you'll have to upgrade. See system requirements Edited January 15, 2020 by gemdoll11
Damien Symonds Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 Don't worry about it for now. Start with the Layers & Masks Class first instead.
gemdoll11 Posted January 15, 2020 Author Posted January 15, 2020 Thanks Damien. Off I go! Ya bloody legend. Love from New Zealand ?
